Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Photocatalysis

Background:

  • Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, offers precise control over object fabrication.
  • Photocatalysis is crucial for various chemical transformations, but catalyst design can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce micro- and macro-sized photocatalytically active 3D printed objects for the first time.
  • To develop a dual-function photoresin incorporating a ruthenium(II) complex for both 3D printing and photocatalysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing light-induced additive manufacturing (one- and two-photon printing) with a pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) based resin.
  • Incorporating a ruthenium(II) complex as both a photoinitiator and an active photocatalyst.
  • Verifying catalyst incorporation using time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS).

Main Results:

  • Successfully fabricated 3D printed objects with spatially controlled ruthenium(II) complexes.
  • Demonstrated photocatalytic activity in C-H arylation of activated aryl bromides using the 3D printed structures.
  • A microscale design (1% of macroscale volume) achieved 75% of the photocatalytic performance of a macroscale structure.

Conclusions:

  • This novel approach enables the creation of tailored, catalytically active 3D objects with high precision.
  • The dual-function photoresin and 3D printing technique offer a versatile platform for advanced photocatalyst design.
  • Optimized microscale designs show significant photocatalytic efficiency, highlighting the potential for material and cost savings.
